We bring over 30 years of experience in the construction industry to every project. You can’t scare us away with a challenge – we can tackle projects that stump other construction teams, creating one-of-a-kind solutions to bring your vision to life. Let’s build something together.
We build community by creating public spaces where people can gather, including parks, historic landmarks, libraries and schools.
Nashville tourism is fueled by great places to eat, sleep and have fun. We can help bring the next hot restaurant or hotel to life.
Old buildings have stories to tell and can become exceptional new spaces. No renovation is too challenging for us.
Each organization deserves a space that works for them. We build functional spaces to meet every need.
"The Dowdle Group has provided unbeatable service and craftsmanship to the restoration and construction of our new location. We couldn’t have worked with a better construction company for this job."
– Scott Witherow, Founder and Owner, Olive & Sinclair Chocolate Co.
"We are grateful for Dowdle Construction Group for the professionalism and dedication to this unique Nashville project. The project team’s hard work and attention to detail allowed us to meet a tight construction schedule. We are proud to call them an important part of Casa Azafran’s story."
– Renata Soto, Co-Founder, Conexión Américas and Casa Azafrán
"I want you to know that it was a pleasure for our team to handle day-to-day through your site superintendent. He was polite, knowledgeable, extremely positive – a true professional. If he were one of ours, we’d keep him!"
– Pride Scanlan, President, Benefit Communications, Inc.
"Frankly, I expected a burdensome headache and pressure to up-scale things to get the work done. But the absolute opposite was true. Now I have a beautiful, well-built office that we have been complimented on more times than I can count. I happily recommend Dowdle Construction to colleagues that may be considering construction or renovation."
– Jeff Matthews, M.D.
"Aside from an extremely fast timeline, we were blown away by the quality of work along with the dedication of our superintendent who stopped at nothing to make sure we were happy. The end result was beyond what we envisioned as the optimal location for our business."
- Kevin Antoon, Founder, Southern Grist Brewing Company
"In our search for the right general contractor, we received budget pricing from several qualified local contractors. After extensive due diligence, we selected Dowdle. Their engagement and efforts to help find solutions to many of the challenges we faced led us to select them as our contractor. The building and site pose many challenges that only a contractor well-versed in complicated adaptive reuse projects could handle. Since making the decision to hire Dowdle, they have not disappointed. Dowdle has been a true team player, is solution oriented and has displayed integrity and honesty in all of our work together. I strongly recommend them for your project."
- Lindsay Nevin, President, Flyway
"Being from out of state, my business partners and I were very apprehensive about choosing a local General Contractor. We are in the restaurant/bar industry, where attention to detail and finish out is just as important as keeping a timely schedule. This particular project was especially important to us because it was our very first one out of the state of Texas, so we wanted to set the standard for our plans of future expansion. The Dowdle Group was referred to us by a well-respected peer who had used them to construct a similar venue. Any and all apprehension disappeared during our very first meeting with Glynn Dowdle and his colleagues. From the very beginning, The Dowdle Group was honest, upfront, transparent, and fair. Every single member of The Dowdle Group, from Allen Buchanan, Chase Manning, to the Project Superintendent, and even the subcontractors that were hired was a consummate professional from the first day of construction to the last. When an inevitable disagreement occurred, it was met with professionalism and fairness and was always resolved efficiently. They also believe in the quality of their work, which is obvious and extremely apparent when viewing the finished product."
- Brad Womack, Partner, Carmack Concepts
"Dowdle Construction did an outstanding job on our STK Nashville restaurant build. This was our first time working with the company, and we were extremely pleased by the team’s responsiveness and flexibility when it came to be accommodating all requests. Further, they have an unmatched creative eye that helped us create a uniquely sexy, sophisticated and inviting space. The entire team was incredibly accommodating, wonderfully communicative and embraced every bit of what ‘vibe dining’ truly means when bringing our vision for STK Nashville to life."
- Joe McHugh, Regional Director of Marketing, The ONE Group
"Since I am also a general contractor, I have typically self-performed my construction work. However, with the Dowdle team it has been easier for me to “turn loose” than I thought. They are very professional and easy to work with. I would recommend the Dowdle Construction Group to anyone who needs a quality general contractor. The highest compliment I can pay their team is that they are normal. In today’s business world that is not as easy to find as one might imagine."
– Richard Bacon, Managing Partner, Cottage Partners
"A lot of the guys that did historic preservation were looking at this project, and they were like, ‘I don’t want to touch it. I don’t want the liability of it. I don’t see this going any further than what you have right now.’ Dowdle came over and looked at the project and immediately started talking about solutions. They were passionate about it. That says a lot to me about a company."
- Mike Wolfe, “American Pickers” Television Star
